{"product_id":"td025-turbo-wastegate-actuator-with-metal-piston","title":"TD025 Turbo Wastegate Actuator with Metal Piston","description":"The BNR Wastegate Actuator is engineered for TD025 and hybrid variant turbochargers, specifically designed to fit stock and upgraded stock frame turbochargers on the Gen 2 Chevrolet Cruze LE2. While it does not fit the stock turbo on the Malibu 1.5T, it can be utilized if that turbo is replaced with a TD025R\/X\/S Hybrid. The actuator is also compatible with the Equinox 1.5T.\n\nThis upgrade replaces the factory's weak rubber diaphragm actuator with a more robust metal piston design. This is crucial because the stock actuator is often insufficient, leading to reduced boost levels even with tuning and potentially causing P0299 codes. The BNR actuator directly addresses this issue, allowing the turbo to achieve and maintain full boost.\n\nInstallation includes two different sizes of turnbuckles, ensuring a proper fit onto the wastegate arm without the need for drilling or modification. The preload on the actuator rod is adjustable, allowing users to fine-tune boost pressure. A recommended starting point is one and a half turns of preload, with adjustments made based on boost testing to avoid over-boost conditions, which can trigger the ECU's limp-home mode.\n\nThe power gains can vary significantly depending on the condition of the stock actuator. If the stock unit holds between 15-23psi, this upgrade can result in an increase of 10-20HP. For vehicles where the stock actuator limits boost to around 15psi even with a tune, the BNR actuator could add as much as 40-50HP. The Version 2.0 update features a more corrosion-resistant and better-fitting redesigned turnbuckle\/clevis, along with cost-reducing changes like a polishing process and laser-etched logo.","brand":"BNR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52687195111736,"sku":"BNR-LE2TCWAG","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/661172072.webp?v=1784881281","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/td025-turbo-wastegate-actuator-with-metal-piston","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
